  • Berwickshire holiday park on the River Tweed's banks near Coldstream
  • Five minutes’ drive to the Hirsel Estate and 40 minutes to Holy Island
  • Dog-friendly site; pubs five minutes’ drive
Can’t decide whether to holiday in Scotland or England? Coldstream Holiday Park is situated just above the banks of the River Tweed, which forms a natural boundary between the two countries. No need to make a decision, then, as you can visit both countries in one day. Near the historic town of Coldstream, the site has views all the way to the Cheviot Hills and you can see the Eildon Hills on clear days. It is a handy, dog-centric base for walking and cycling in Berwickshire countryside, with a golf course within five minutes’ drive, and fishing (in season) on the Tweed. Whether you’re heading further north into the Scottish Highlands, or using the holiday park as your main base, this well-equipped and family-friendly site offers facilities including an architect-designed heated amenities block with toilets and showers. There’s a launderette and washing-up area too so you can keep everybody and everything clean and shiny. Source bits and bobs for meals and barbecues in Coldstream convenience stores, or visit the town’s pubs, restaurants and takeaways if your idea of being on holiday does not involve any cooking at all.

What customers say

A grand spot, tidy and friendly. Pitches are decent, good views, handy for the town. Showers are a bit on the small side for some, and a few niggles with cobwebs and drains. A bit of noise now and then. Electric car charging is sorted by someone else.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Beautiful, immaculate site.
We were very lucky to have glorious weather.
Lovely walks around the area and a short walk into town.
Toilets / wash room always clean.
Pitch slightly sloped, so needed our levelling ramps. Grass to the side with plenty space to relax.
All staff we came across were very friendly.

Disliked Nothing

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such an enjoyable stay with us.

We’re glad the weather played along for you and that you got to enjoy the lovely local walks and the easy stroll into town. Our team takes great pride in keeping the grounds and facilities immaculate, so your kind words about our cleanliness and friendly staff really mean a lot to us.

Thank you for the note about the slight slope on your pitch—having those levelling ramps handy is always a great tip for fellow tourers! We are so glad you still had plenty of space on the grass to relax and unwind.

It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another beautiful break soon!

Kindest Regards

Liked Lovely well kept park spacious pitches facilities clean very welcoming lovely walk into Coldstream free WiFi is a bonus

Disliked Not a dislike but could really do with another toilet and shower block would be quite a queue for facilities if they had been fully booked this bank holiday weekend and maybe a small play area for children

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our spacious pitches, clean facilities, and the warm welcome, as well as the free Wi-Fi and the walk into Coldstream.

We really appreciate your feedback regarding busier weekends. We completely understand how important it is to avoid those morning queues, so we wanted to share a quick insider tip for your next visit! In addition to the main block, we actually have two standalone toilets/showers located just behind the main amenity block to help ease the rush during peak times.

We also do have a dedicated play park located directly behind reception, which is centrally placed for all our younger guests to enjoy!

Thank you again for staying with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next getaway

Disliked The toilet facilities. Not enough toilets or showers.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the site and found your pitch to be a good, comfortable size.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the amenities. We want to reassure you that our toilet and shower counts fully comply with the required facility-to-pitch ratios set by both Visit Scotland and the AA Guide to ensure adequate coverage for our guests.

Additionally, we do have two extra standalone units located just behind the main amenity block which can help during peak times..

Thank you again for your visit, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Tidy and well laid out with handy facilities

Disliked That the facilities doors code system was not adhered to. Left open to elements and untidy by other guests. There were no standards.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you found the park tidy and well laid out, but we are sorry to hear that the actions of other guests impacted your stay.

We take the cleanliness of our facilities very seriously. Our team checks and cleans the block at least twice daily, and we provide cleaning products on-site for guests to use between professional cleans. Regarding the door codes, we do provide every guest checking in for touring or camping with the same information leaflet outlining site rules and security protocols to ensure the facilities remain private and clean.

While we strive for excellence, we sadly cannot be responsible for guests who do not adhere to these standards or respect the shared spaces. However, we always encourage guests to report any issues to us directly at the time; had we been made aware, we would have tended to the matter immediately to rectify the situation.

We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back for a much improved experience in the future.

Warm Regards
The Coldstream Team

Camping pod

Liked Everything was clean

Disliked Portocabin/toilet shower was always flooded
Main toilet/shower block showers were really cramped only room for one at a time
Pod was very disappointing only fold down sofa bed and bunk beds only suitable for small fit adults or children. A tiny high up shelf and nothing else. Warm weather the bbq table outside would suffice but April too cold so nowhere to sit and eat inside.
Constant noise from main road nearby

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns and clarify a few details regarding our facilities.

Facility Maintenance & Showers
We take cleanliness and maintenance very seriously. Regarding the flooding you mentioned, we did have one report of a blocked drain in the amenity block; however, this was resolved within 30 minutes of being reported.

While the standard showers are designed to be compact, we do offer two standalone shower units at the rear of the block which provide a bit more space for our guests' comfort.

Accommodation & Equipment
We aim for full transparency regarding our pod layouts. The website description explicitly states that guests should "bring all camping equipment minus the tent," including linen, sleeping bags, and cooking equipment. The sleeping arrangements are listed as:

1 x Bunk bed

1 x Double sofa/futon

No internal toilet or shower (shared facilities only)

As these are traditional camping pods, they are designed to provide a cosy, dry base for outdoor enthusiasts. We understand that during the colder April weather, the lack of indoor dining space can be a challenge if the outdoor picnic area is not in use.

Location
Our proximity to the main road provides easy access to the local area, though we understand that road noise can vary depending on individual sensitivity and traffic flow.

We value your input as it helps us improve the experience for future guests.

Warm Regards
The Coldstream Team

Disliked Sloping hard standing
No wifi details in welcome pack.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the ease of parking, the space provided, and our onsite facilities.

I would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the pitch slope and the missing Wi-Fi information. To provide some context:

Pitch Allocation: Because your booking was made just a day prior to arrival, our flat pitches specifically reserved for motorhomes had already been fully booked. We always aim to provide the most level ground possible, but last-minute availability can occasionally be limited.

Wi-Fi Details: Our team usually provides Wi-Fi credentials during the check-in process. However, as you arrived after reception had closed, I understand this vital bit of info was missed.

Moving forward: We take your private feedback seriously. We are currently reviewing our Late Arrival Welcome Packs to ensure Wi-Fi details and other essential instructions are clearly included for guests arriving out of hours.

We appreciate your patience and hope to welcome you back again—perhaps with a bit more lead time so we can snag you one of those flatter spots!

Best regards

Liked Spacious, right beside facilities. Washing machines, microwaves and fridge freezers that you could use. Quiet, walking distance into town

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the spacious pitch, our facilities, and the easy walk into town—and I’m so glad the sunshine made for such a great stay.

Regarding your feedback on the Wi-Fi, I'm sorry you missed out on using it! We do advertise Wi-Fi on Pitch-up to help guests plan ahead, but we’ll look into making the login details more prominent on-site so they are easier to find.

We’re glad it didn't dampen your trip, and we hope to see you back again soon for more sunshine!

Camping pod

Liked Stayed in a pod. Basically just a bedroom. But comfy mattress and plenty of space to spread out. Lots of power points but none near the beds.....good thing...? I thought so.

Disliked Water point not signed so unsure if it was safe to drink. Had to ask.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the comfort and space of the pod, and that you found the "unplugged" nature of the power point layout a positive for your stay.

Regarding the water point:
I sincerely apologize for the uncertainty you had. Providing guidance on the water supply is a standard part of our check-in process, and we’re very sorry it was missed on this occasion. We will make sure our team is more diligent in pointing this out to ensure our guests feel settled right away.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to welcome you back for an even smoother stay in the future!

Best regards,
The Coldstream Team

Local attractions

Coldstream (five minutes’ drive) has much to offer in the way of history. This border town changed hands between the English and Scots many times over the centuries and is now home to informative military history displays in Coldstream Museum. It’s also home to the Hirsel Estate, with lakeside dog walks, lovely gardens to wander around, and craft shops where you can pick up some souvenir tartan. A little further afield you’ll come across a series of austere ruined castles, including Twizel (10 minutes), Norham and Etal (both 20 minutes), all once responsible for keeping English bandits out of Scotland. The romantic and remote remains of Dryburgh Abbey (half an hour) are also worth a visit – especially at dusk when they have a haunting beauty. On the English side of the border, drive across the causeway to Holy Island (40 minutes, check tide times) to see art deco Lindisfarne Castle (45 minutes), or head to Bamburgh (40 minutes) to spend the day on its extensive sandy beach. At Alnwick Castle (50 minutes), kids can explore the poison gardens, spot Harry Potter film locations and take broomstick-riding lessons.
